so, a few weeks ago i decided that my life is'nt going in the direction that i want it to. i start weighing my options as far as what i can do and whats holding me back from what i want to do.
so, my brother gets ahold of me (he's in the army and he's 6 years younger than me) and i tell him my situation. well, long story short, he hooks me up with some recruiters and i decided to join the navy.
so far, ive taken the A.S.V.A.B test and scored exceptionally well on it....basically that means that i can get whatever job i want in the navy. Ive had to take reference forms to my previous employers and schools for them to fill out and return to my recruiter. they've run a backround check on me and okay'ed it with M.E.P.S.
ive done this stuff in a matter of about 2 weeks. my question is to those of you that have been in the military or know someone who has.
how long will it be from this point...to basic training? i havent signed anything yet but ive deffinatley been goin through alot of red tape. they've recommended that i go in for special opps due to my scores on the a.s.v.a.b and mental evaluation.
i work 2 jobs and im a manager at one of them, so i have to train some one to replace me if i leave. obviously, im gonna need ample time to do this and i keep gettin wishy washy answers when i ask for a time frame. they've told me as early as mid october.
i just need to know if anyone has a more clear idea of the time frame for this process.
